Long winters

End of winter is never easy as everyone looks forward to warmer days.

Tempers also fray.

Days get noticeably longer.

Nights are still cold.

Often we are not getting enough sun or outside time.

Make the effort to get outside, do walk, take the time.

It is our choice how we pass through this deceptive period.

Spring will come it just takes longer than we want to remember.

None of us want to believe that spring is not here yet!

So be tolerant of those with short tempers.

Chill and enjoy cold days!

What?

Ever try to argue with a computer?

Even if you did not argue then for sure you have known frustration!

Question what do you do?

Break things, try and try again, walk away, get angry?

Whatever your style note that computers might not have bad energy but we sometimes do.

We cannot prove it but there are days when you should leave well alone.

If your job is with computers then fine you are being paid to fight with them.

If your job is not then go away leave it alone for a while.

Go back when your energy has changed.

Chill, enjoy a drink whatever then go back.

There are days when our energy upsets lots of things including our computers.

Irritation

You said what?

Why do you want to do that?

Do you have to be so loud?

Why are you raising your voice?

Does it really matter?

Why didnt you tell me?

Do you have to do it now?

Take a deep breath and smile.

Smile?

Are you kidding I want to shout and scream.

Yes, you can but as soon as you raise your voice you lose.

Take that deep breath, smile and agree that whatever it was is a good idea.

Then and only then state your own point of view.

Try it next time you are sorely tested.

Smiling works so much better.

Love is not just a word

Love is the gateway to evolution.


Conversely a life devoted to grabbing all you can leads to loneliness.

Love is the only way to grow.

Love is about moving from me to we.

Putting others before ourselves.

Love is unconditional.

Are you selfish or growing towards love?

Learn to live in love.

Love is not people.

Love is not just a word.

Love is.

Airports

Airports are places of pleasure and tension.

When we welcome family and friends we are happy and excited.

When we say goodbye often we are sad.

While we wait to fly we have a subconscious nervousness that the plane might crash.

When we are delayed we experience irritation and fatigue.

When we listen to nonsense excuses from airlines we know contempt.

Airport layouts often seem to have been designed by some madman.

We usually have to walk miles.

The shops are usually expensive.

The parking expensive.

The food mediocre.

What is it about airports?

Airports are places of fantasy and illusion.

They offer the idea of moving to somewhere new, to adventure, to unexpected meetings.

So for good or bad airports are our halls of dreams, maybe they are all we have.

Enjoy your airports!

Free choice

Do you believe in free choice?

Do you think you have free choices in your life or is it all pre-ordained?

A simple question and one which has big implications for our lives.

Free choice meaning that you are the master of your destiny.

That you make choices based upon your own thoughts leading to your own choice of actions.

Or is it that those thoughts have been given to you?

Do you know where they came from and why at that particular time?

Of course you do not, thoughts just arrive in your head from you know not where.

Thoughts arrive in your head all the time.

So now you have the question consider it.

Does free choice exist?

Hint karma is real.

Hiding

I do not want to talk about it.

It's private.

It is not your business.

Leave me alone.

And many more cries of pain.

How many people hide pain and fear inside?

Too many.

Let your hidden pain out.

Stop hiding your fears.

Talk about them with someone you trust.

A pain or fear outed is one defused.

Hiding things inside leads to major problems, much more than you can imagine.

Out with your hidden fears!

The symbolism of numbers and their mathematical interrelations is also one of the branches of magic - especially of mental magic, divination and correct perception in clairvoyance.

Chance as taught by Cornelius Agrippa, is in reality only an unknown progression; and time but a succession of numbers,

Hence, futurity being a compound of chance and time, these are made to serve Occult calculations in order to find the result of an event, or the future of one's destiny.

Talk 50 Listen 50

That's talk 50% of the time and listen 50% of the time.

Preferably listen 50% first.

Too many people don't really listen and are so keen to say what they have to say that they do not hear what the other person is saying.

Your ego might consider your life and what you have to say more important than listening to the other person however if you need to talk then time to consider why?

Is what you have to say really so interesting?

If you know what you are going to say then does the other person need to hear it too?

Why not spend your meeting listening to the other person and if that is boring then consider why are you spending time with them?

Use your time wisely do not spend it boring others or being bored by them.

Learn to listen better it's a useful skill.

Indeed go further and consider what is really being said behind the words?

Be more attentive!

Young woman, young man

Is it clear?

Your mother and father have no idea why they are here.
They work at jobs they do not like.
For money that is never enough.
For people they would not chose.
Their dreams died long ago.
They just keep going as best they can.

So now it is your turn.

Our planet is beautiful.
Nature is magic.
You have time.
You can make choices.
You are not prisoners.
You have your health.

Chose to grow.
Challenge assumptions.
It is possible to find the relative truth of things.
Experience, explore, travel, learn more.

Vertical growth is your future.
Not about money, not about manipulation.
Live in truth with yourself.
Start by learning about yourself.

Begin today by learning to control your mind.
Notice what comes in and out.
Banish all thoughts of violence, all thoughts of fear.
Live in today, this moment now.
There is no other reality.

Life is what you create.

Responsibility

Do you feel that you are responsible for another human being?

You are not.

It’s your story.

You might have compassion for someone, but to be responsible you are not.

Why?

Because every human, except possibly one on life support, is in the final analysis responsible for his own actions.

We live and die according to our choices.

As a parent you might guide, control, discipline, no matter your approach, your child is actually the only one responsible for it's own actions, after the age of seven that is when the soul is fully in the child.

Even old infirm people who cannot be responsible for their actions are responsible for their lives.
So if your story is that you cannot do this that or the other because you are responsible for someone then time to examine your story.

Is your story just a way to avoid leading the life you could?

Is it a way to avoid your own life?

You are in the final analysis only responsible for yourself.

How you act or relate to others is your choice, not that you are responsible for their actions.

Compassion is fine, responsibility not so.

Grey days

Many grey days a European winter make.

Step away from grey.

Find smiles to share, it's a smart investment as smiles come back.

Smiles dispel grey.

Smile with someone today.

Let your eyes smile too.

Smiles make our world a better place.

Smile the grey days away!

Approaching love

Many people have no idea about love.
Many people confuse thoughts about love with actual love.
Love is not thought.
Love is not mind thinking.

Love is from the heart.

To reach your heart requires letting go of mind.

Letting go of mind is experiencing feelings.

Allowing yourself to feel, no judgement, no analysis, no measuring, no evaluation.

Just what arrives in you, something unconditional.

Can you feel unconditionally?

Only when we can feel unconditionally can we truly love.

Love is unconditional.

Calculators

Are you a calculator?

Do you calculate the personal advantage to you of everything you see and look at?

Will this be to my advantage?

Do I gain by this?

What's in it for me?

If this is you then consider.

The most important things in life cannot be measured against money and personal advantage.

Think they may?

Then prove it to yourself if you can.

Try measuring affection, friendship, sacrifice, loneliness, pain, emptiness, sorrow, love.

If you failed to measure these then time to think again about your life strategy.

Self-centeredness leads to a life experienced alone.

Leave your calculations aside live from your heart.

General anesthetic

Sometimes life leads us to hospitals and operations.

Be clear that you are going to be alright whatever the outcome of the operation.

Meaning?

Wherever life takes you is OK.

Life can lead us to many places we have not anticipated.

That's OK just be the best you can in every situation.

So when you go into that operation let go of fear and feel love for those who will work on you.

It's the best protection you can have, love.

Yes, life can take us to unexpected places.

Ugly

Ugly buildings, ugly people, ugly films, ugly TV programs.

Ugly is real and there is plenty of it.

Do you support ugly?

Do you resist ugly?

Ugly often comes from ugly minds.

How can beauty produce ugly?

Is ugly in your mind?

Pay attention to the ugly things in your life.

Ban ugly from your life.

Create beauty in your life.

The dark night of the soul

There comes a time of despair in most human lives.

A time when all seems lost, useless, impossible to bear any longer.

It feels as if everyone else is fine and that I alone experience this nightmare.

The dark night of the soul as it is known.

A time to surrender or fight.

Some do, some don't.

This night can last many weeks or months.

It does not leave you alone, all seems lost.

If you fight then there is the chance to be born again.

Fight means letting go of our fears opening our hearts.

Freeing ourselves from illusion.

Being born again into the light if you will.

The only help one can give is that the answers are all inside us.

Running away does not help.
Denial does not help.
Anger does nothing.
No bottle, no drugs, no abuse.
Just fighting for our sanity, letting go.

Quiet the mind - the answer is never in the mind.

The answer is in our hearts.

Connecting with our souls, yes we all have one.

The fight is to understand our fears.

To learn why we are really here.

To free ourselves from the tyranny of illusion.

To create the lives we truly yearn for.

May you find your way.

Tribalism

Arguably one of the greatest impediments to global harmony is tribalism.

By this we mean all those divisions that divide us, I have tattoos you do not, I'm French you are English, you are young I'm older, I'm a member of this you are not, I'm black you are white, I'm Muslim you are Christian and so on.

Our brains are reductionist in that we are trained to compare everything in relation to what we know, thereby creating distance between ourselves and whatever we encounter.

Our next step of evolution is not possible until we consciously start to break down these divisions.

Unfortunately politicians and leaders love to play the division game.

The media also love division as it helps them to promote their products.

Make it your work to remove these divisions in your own life.

Notice similarities not differences.

Grow beyond tribalism.

Nice days

A nice day is when you feel good inside and nothing worries you.

So have a nice day, it's your choice.

It's getting lighter every day.

The cold is not going to last so long now.

The grey days will soon be a thing of the past.

Let go of worries they never work out as you imagine anyway.

Smile at people today it's fun watching them wonder why you smile at them.

Do something nice for someone, maybe then they will do something nice for someone else.

Who knows what you can start with your nice day?

In fact chose to have more nice days.

Make 2006 a year of nice days!

Whinging

It's not my fault.
They should do something about it.
No one listens to me.
Why doesn't anybody speak to me?

I keep having accidents.
My health is no good.
I keep getting colds.
I am tired all the time.

He cheated me.
I was robbed.
My boss is unfair.
I was mugged.

Someone stole my things.
I lost my job.
I don't know what to do.
It's no use.

My wife left me.
My boyfriend is unfair.
It's no use.
I am not good enough.

Yes, yes, yes and when will the penny drop that it is you?

There is no mystic force of evil out to harm you, just your karma saying wake up.

You determine what happens to you no one else.

Stop whinging and sort yourself out.

See reality for what it is not your self-pitying stories about this 'n that.

The problem is in you not out there.

Find the courage to live in reality, find the truth.

Women and men

Men often chose violence be it physical or emotional.

Women often chose compromise.

Men scowl.

Women smile.

Men often have problems showing emotion.

Women often live in their emotions.

What a splendid idea that men and women might actually compliment each other.

What a shame so many abuse this possibility through fear, greed and misunderstanding.

Try learning from each other it is so much more agreeable.

Have the courage to be open with each other.

May women and men learn to love each other.

Attitude

When we say someone has attitude we usually mean he or she is not very nice.

Selfish, loud, arrogant, pushy you get the picture.

Ever thought of adding the idea of evil to the above?

Evil some would say is too harsh.

Is it?

Evil is as evil does, evil is all of those things.

Evil is the ultimate in self-centeredness.

Evil is not a word often used in these American politically correct times.

Maybe we should see things for what they are and call them what they are.

If you label things correctly then there is less chance that you will make mistakes.

Call evil as it is, attitude is just evil under a softer name.

Evil is evil

Tarot or is it taros?

There are two taros - the wheel perfectly esoteric which is taros and the Western tarot -

Kabalistical, remodelled by Shemites, a branch so much younger than the Aryans and even the Hamites.

The latter taro (tarot) is to be read from right to left like Arabic and Hebrew writing.

The former primitive taros "wheel" is in cuneiform characters and astrological signs.

One of the oldest taros in the world is made on a kind of tolla leaves of some chemically prepared and indestructible material which makes them look like burnished metal.

The real tarot in its complete symbology, can be found only in the Babylonian cylinders, that can be seen in the British Museum.

Anyone can see these Chaldean antediluvian rhombs, or revolving cylinders, covered with sacred signs, but the secrets of these divining wheels are not known today and will remain unknown for some time to come.

Only in India and maybe still in Tibet is there any knowledge of taros.

Many in the West claim knowledge of tarot however few have true understanding.

Be wary of those claiming knowledge in this area.

Pace of change

Since the last full eclipse of the sun the vibration rate has increased on this planet.

This is the rate at which we experience time and life.

This rate of change is continuing to increase and is why we find everything going faster and faster.

It is nature's way of obliging us to adapt to change.

This applies to all, individuals, companies, societies, countries all of us.

If we do not change then we are broken.

Notice how when you resist change it keeps on coming back at you.

As we said observe how this applies to individuals, companies, societies, countries all of us.

There is no hiding.

Word to the wise learn to accept and embrace change.

Simple simple guide

Nature, God whatever name you wish to use has it's affairs to run.

You have yours.

I have mine.

Anytime I come into yours I am out of mine.

Anytime I go into Nature’s I am out of mine.

In truth I can only ever be responsible for mine.

Anytime we go into someone else's affairs we create problems.

So stop making problems for yourself.

Enjoy a peaceful life

Stay in your own affairs please!.

Ein - Zwei - Drei - Vier

Curious fact the first four numbers in German are named after the elements.

"Ein, or one, means the air, the element which, ever in motion, penetrates matter throughout, and whose continual ebb and tide is the universal vehicle of life.

"Zwei, two, is derived from the old German Zweig, signifying germ, fecundity; it stands for earth the fecund mother of all.

"Drei, three, is the trienos of the Greeks, standing for water, whence the Sea-Gods, Tritons; and trident, the emblem of Neptune - the water, or sea in general being called Amphitrite (surrounding water).

"Vier, four, a number meaning in Belgian fire, it is in the quaternary that the first solid figure is found, the universal figure of immortality, the pyramid, whose first syllable means fire
